KUBOTA's internal Eco-Products Certification System

In June 2011, the KUBOTA Group began running its own Eco-Products Certification System to certify environmentally friendly products. Products which have fulfilled our internal requirements, which include 'energy saving,' 'resources saving and recycling,' and 'reducing environmentally hazardous substances,' are certified as 'Eco-Products,' and display our proprietary Eco-Products label. By means of this system, we are improving our range of environmentally-friendly products, and further intensifying our efforts to preserve the global environment as an environmentally leading company.
